    You know **** all. You just hope we don't so you can justify your bitch-fest against our manager. The same manager that just earned us a draw away in the NLD when down to 10 men.

    Ok that's great. You can stop following me around now. It's becoming an unhealthy obsession. Voyeur.

    2 games for Spurs to take top spot ... and ahead against 10 men in the second ....

    Are you rubbing off your "bottler" tag onto Spurs? <laugh>

    The "power" shift has truly happened. Except it's the equivalent of giving someone herpes.

    You're just hurt because AW pulled it off for us fans and our club.

    Go away.

    Thanks :)

    I've told you why this isn't true but you keep peddling it. What else should I expect from a Tory though?

    Realistically a point does little good for either team. We will be the happier of the sides. Not a great performance by any stretch of the imagination but we showed some fight today, so credit to them for that.

    Compared to one of the possible alternatives today it did us a lot of good.

    Credit for drawing with 10 men, but in the bigger picture, that's 3 league games without a win, 5 games in a row in all competitions without a win, and only 2 wins out of our last 9 league games, and only something like 2 away wins in our last 8. That is by no means title winning form, and why we will not win the league. You do not win the title on form like this, it's that simple.

    Yeah agreed, a loss would have left us 6 points off them, and a possible 9 behind Leicester. Really bleak.

    I doubt Leicester will win today, but assuming they do, that's 8 points behind them, not really a huge difference 8 and 9, heck with their better goal difference, that's like an automatic point for them, so it's like 9 anyways, if they do win. But I see them drawing.

    As an Arsenal fan I am also concerned about finishing above the spuds, let alone seeing them fluke the title. So I account for this when weighing up the pros & cons of today's result - not just our chances of winning the title, although it is obviously the top priority.

    Spurs are already bottling it, 2 big games, and 1 point, and next month they face United, Chelski, Liverpool, and Stoke.

    Indeed. All in-fighting aside for a moment, I have NEVER doubted that we will finish above the shadow dwellers this season and would not be surprised to see them finish 5th or 6th.

    It's not about probabilities for me, it is always a heady mixture of belief spurred on by eternal hope. My beliefs do fly in the face of the stats and odds at times, but I'll never say die until the maths tell me to.

    p.s. That's maths, not matth :p

    Man. I love Coquelin but no need for that tackle. Still great fightback with 10 men. Good to see Sanchez finally scoring. He looked better today so hopefully he comes out of his slump.
    Hull next. Would rotate a bit but hopefully we can book a FA Cup QF berth.

    Only followed the game in updates on my phone today. But first thoughts are good comeback with ten men, also wondering if we could have won this with 11 on the pitch ? A point doesn't do either side much good, but it was CRUCIAL that we didn't lose this one, because we would have been 6 points behind the ****s and out confidence destroyed.

    As it is it's probably a better point in the end for us because we stopped Spurs from going top and we've sown a seed of doubt in them 1 point from 6 with tough games coming up.

    This ain't over by a long shot yet

    with 11 on the park i think we would have won, even with 10 we looked ok going forward, spurs pressed well in the first 20 mins, but only created one chance, and they dominated for 5 mins after the sending off, when they got the two goals. That is why its still annoying, we really should have won this game.

    We definitely would've won with 11 men despite how poor we had played prior to the goal. After we scored, the momentum was in our favour and then (predictably) Coquelin made a stupid challenge and got sent off.

    Seven minutes after that, we colloquies and conceded twice. Amazed we came back with a draw with 10 men at WHL. It's frustrating because we could've nicked a win and we only played much better after going 2-1 down.
